Scholarship Program

TradeshowDisplayPros.com will be awarding a $500 academic scholarship to one qualified student pursuing a marketing or design career. Submissions for the 2015 Trade Show Display Pros Scholarship are being accepted right now!

We will select one amazing student who provides the best trade show display design. All entries must be submitted no later than August 31, 2015.

The design specifications are as follows:

The design can be created to fit either a vertical or horizontal space, as trade show displays come in all shapes and sizes. A display can be selected from our site and the template for that display can be used as the framework for the design.

A vector format design is ideal, but Photoshop or other bitmap formats will be accepted and should be minimum of 100 dpi at actual size.

Any images or other support files must be embedded or included, and fonts should be converted to outlines or included as well.

Files should be in a graphics format such as .ai, .eps, .pdf, .jpg, .tif, or .psd. Layouts in InDesign and QuarkXPress are also acceptable and must include support files and fonts.

Files can be in RGB or CMYK.

If designing in a program that won't allow the file to be created at full size, it can be done at half size and double the resolution. Designs can be as generic or specific to an industry as you would like. They will be judged on creativity, commercial appeal, and effectiveness as an advertising piece.
